Scanning an Image

Make sure your Epson scanner and Network Image Express Card are turned on and working properly. Then follow the steps below to use the EPSON Scan Settings program to enable network scanning.

Note:

With Windows 2000 and XP, you need to log on with administrator privileges to install the software. With Windows 2000, XP, and Mac OS X, you need to log on using administrator privileges to make changes to the settings. Any changes made to the settings by the administrator apply to all users. With Mac OS X, do not use the Fast User Switching function while using your scanner.

Obtain the IP address or host name of the Network Image Express Card from your network administrator. You can also obtain the IP address by using the software that came with your Network Image Express Card. See "Setting an IP Address Using EpsonNet WinAssist" in the User’s Guide that came with the card.
